Characters and Allegory

I want you to look in depth at one of the main characters from our novel Of Mice and Men.  To help understand your character better you will create a facebook page for one of the following characters: Lennie, George, Curley, Curley's Wife, Crooks, or Candy.  You can use the following template or create your own more creative version.  Each page MUST include the following:
Picture
About Me (age, where they're from, where they work, etc.)
Interests (at least 3)
Friends
Posts on their wall (at least 5) (can be posts from friends, status updates, posted links, etc.)
BE CREATIVE

Next, we will look more at the concept of allegory, which we discussed on Monday.  You will create an outline for an allegorical story about the themes from the novel.  You are going to create your own allegory about the American dream set in modern times.  See my example here.  Your story must contain a setting, at least 5 characters, and an explanation of the theme or message.  Please think carefully and complete the following handout.  Your story can take place in places such as  a big business like Wal Mart, a college campus, an apartment building, a suburb, a mall, a high school, etc.  Remember, the message must deal with themes from the novel of The American dream and loneliness.

Both assignments are due by next Wednesday (5/25) when you arrive in class.
